Re: You guys throw your drying towels in with other MF's to wash?
I separate towels like this, Touches paint, doesn't touch paint. When I throw them all it I have had some staining issues. Either caused by wheel cleaners or tire dressings. Since segregating I haven't had anymore staining issues.

Same here.. if it touches paint, it gets washed with the good load. My best microfibers, drying towels too, microfiber wash mitts as well. I do wash my rinsesless towels separate though.
Anything that has been demoted to tires, clean up, trim, old microfiber applicators etc. they get washed in this load.

Re: You guys throw your drying towels in with other MF's to wash?
All my MF car towels get washed together w/ MF detergent. I mean, how many loads of wash am I going to do for MF towels? Life's too short to sort car towels.
Anytime I'm washing a car, the last thing to touch it is something with DI water - so I mostly let it drip dry and wipe it down. So, drying towels become a non issue.

Break it down into four groups to avoid cross contamination. Dedicated MF detergent, always a second rinse.
Drying MF
MF that touches paint
Rinseless wash MF
Costco MF

I found that adding some vinegar to the softener port along with clear detergent cleans well and keeps the fibers soft. For stains, I spray Meguiars degreaser or apc

This is fact, distilled white vineger can help remove staining and makes the towels softer, sort of a MF safe softener agent. I used to do this but since segregating towels I haven't had the need to. Also, the towels will smell funky haha.

I find the vinegar keeps the fuzz done as well

Re: You guys throw your drying towels in with other MF's to wash?
I wash all my towels together, using vinegar in the softener dispenser of the HE washer. Really dirty ones are pre-soaked in Dawn and Oxyclean first. My drying towels (PFM, Guzzlers, Carrand and Meg's) perform as good as when they were new, but I don't use them if I'm using a drying aid, such as D156, AW or OptiSeal. I use my TRC Eagle Edgeless for that task.

what about interior cleaning; is that thrown in with your paint category?
